I am graduating from Clemson University with a PhD in Computer Science in December 2024.  My research interests are broadly in the field of computer graphics, with unique expertise in the interdisciplinary fields of virtual reality, character animation, machine learning, and human perception. My publications can be found on my Google Scholar profile here. Some of my side projects are shown in the "Projects" tab at the top of the page, and a small portfolio of my artwork is shown in the "Portfolio" tab.

Diversity Statement

My own experiences have inspired me to get involved in encouraging  underrepresented students to pursue higher education.  To this end, I have volunteered several times in Clemson's STEM All-In program, an initiative for increasing diversity in STEM related graduate education. 

Research Interests

  • Virtual and Augmented Reality and human-computer interaction

  • Machine learning for character animation

  • Virtual humans
